Heart failure remains a significant burden to healthcare systems. Even of the advances in medical therapy, heart failure morbidity and mortality have not been significantly reduced. Diabetes mellitus has shown to be a significant risk factor for the development and prognosis of heart failure. Traditionally, these two chronic illnesses have been managed in relative isolation. Clinicians should be more cognizant of the bidirectional impact between heart failure and diabetes.
心力衰竭仍然是医疗保健系统的一项重大负担。即使医疗治疗取得了进展，心力衰竭的发病率和死亡率仍未显著降低。糖尿病已被证明是心力衰竭发生和预后的一个重要危险因素。传统上，这两种慢性病一直是相对独立进行管理的。临床医生应更加认识到心力衰竭和糖尿病之间的双向影响。
